The cool thing is that we did not have to cancel our massage. We finally got to use our gift certificate for our couples 75 minutes hot stone massage. We both felt it wasn't long enough but over all it felt great.
I had never gotten a hot stone massage before and wow! It was a very spiritual experience in that the massage therapist I had, had a connection to me in that she was massaging my abdominal region and could somehow feel the pain I was in. I must have cringed somehow but she felt it and I immediately knew of that connection. My massage therapist was Aerial Ascher at the Roman Paradigm massage near Santana Row. I could still feel that pain in that same area while I was getting that massage, but as the day wore on, the pain slowly dissipated also after I ate a much loved brownie. .
What was very cool about this massage was how relaxing it was to feel the hot stones hit pressure points on my body as she moved them in ways that broke many of the knots that I had felt in my back. It just felt so amazing!
I focused on my breathing so intensely that the singes of pain in my abdomen completely disappeared. I lay in bed with my husband feeling the massage and those hot stones on various points of my body. It felt so wonderful even after the fact? Wow!
Even hours after the massage and into the night I could somehow feel those hot stones in areas where the stones had been rubbed and/or placed. When ever I did awake; I awoke comfortably. All of those knots of pain in my back and shoulders were gone! Normally, when I do awake in the middle of the night, I feel some pain in my shoulders and neck and this time; I felt nothing but stress free and pain free! What a miracle! I was sleeping like a baby in the arms of my love (my husband). That won't be the last one I get! I'm hooked now!
